Entry 8159, Page 292, Col. 2 - <k1>nApinI<k2>nApinI nāpinī¦, woman of the barber caste: Divy 370.1, 3. [Page293-a+ 71] One might be tempted to assume a misreading for Skt. nāpitī. But note Pali nahāminī, Pv iii.1.13, repeated in comm. 176.1 with gloss kappaka-jātikā. Our word looks like confirmation of Kern's conjecture, cited PTSD s.v. nahāmin, that the Pali form stands for °pin(ī).
